For decades, the Amazon absorbed our carbon emissions, slowing climate change. That buffer may be weakening. With a combination of drones, aircraft, ground sensors and satellite data scientists determine whether the Amazon is shifting from a carbon sink to a carbon source #COP30

Let’s protect the global climate together 🌍: This November, all @esa.int Member States will come together at the Ministerial Council to discuss funding for future projects. Check out Susanne Mecklenburg’s insights into ESA’s plans for the coming years 👇

🏆 The winner of our ‘Forests in a Changing Climate‘ competition is Pinja!
Using biomass satellite data, she created a video revealing that Europe's forests are losing their ability to absorb carbon. She discovered that replanted trees cannot instantly restore soil – recovery takes decades🌳

How is permafrost mapped from space and on the ground?

Find out at #COP30! Frank Martin Seifert from the Permafrost project team of ESA's Climate Change Initiative will present new insights on permafrost satellite datasets.

The Committee on Earth Observation Satellites & the Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites delivered a statement to @UNFCCC at #COP30 on how satellite observations advance climate knowledge in key areas like sea level rise projections. Full statement: tinyurl.com/38kswy3e

What's happening to our northern forests? 🌳 @calbergel.bsky.social explains how satellite data revealed unexpected changes in forest carbon storage and what this means for our climate. Check it out! 👇 #COP30

Evidence suggests the Amazon and northern hemisphere forests are weakening carbon sinks, with some areas now emitting more carbon than they absorb. ESA satellites track these shifts as leaders gather for #COP30. Only 235 gigatonnes left in our carbon budget. climate.esa.int/en/news-even...

The global climate system & advances in systematic observation today at #COP30 Earth Information Day: @calbergel.bsky.social of @esa.int & Thais M. Rosan from @uniofexeternews.bsky.social explain how observations advance greenhouse gas inventories & reporting supporting the Paris Agreement.

🛰️ How to monitor the climate: Susanne Mecklenburg explains how we can observe and study climate change in a holistic way – and why looking at the climate variables separately isn’t enough. Learn more! 👇

How can satellites help detecting wildfires?🔥

@calbergel.bsky.social‬, Head of Actionable Climate Information, explains how climate change affects extreme weather events and how we can monitor and assess fire from space. Check it out! 👇

West Antarctica's ice sheets are sending warning signals. Our expert panel revealed how satellite data uncovers dangerous instability patterns contributing to sea level rise. Watch the full webinar:
